OOPS! Think I just posted no text.

So to once again revisit the topic of tire/wheel options with a 122.

In any case, I'm thinking of the big switch to aftermarket wheels. Found a good deal on Torque Thrusts and was thinking of going with something a little larger to fill the wheel wells a bit better. Currently running the original skinnies.

Wondering if anyone knows the limits in wheel size if you stick with stock or near stock offset to give proper backspacing. I know there are issues with tire width and don't plan on getting into 50 series or anything.

So what are the limits or mods predicted on running 6 inch wide 16's? 17's?

Just food for thought on a slow Sunday.

Thanks,
